Hey i got 2 Lightning Audio 12" subs and a pioneer 300 watt max amp. it says the subs are 4 ohms in the booklet is there anyway to change this? like to 2 ohms or watever? and how exactly does this work thanks

 

you cant change it....the only way i can think of "changing" is if you have a sub that has 2 voicecoils, a DVC.

then by wiring the sub in paralle or series, you "change" the impedance (ohm).

 

LOL! what 4 ohms isnt loud enough or somethin? Mine are runnin at 8

 

wow, mine are running at about 1

 

what?

 

Why are your subs running at 8 ohms??

 

if you have two 4 ohm subs, you can wire them in parallel, & have a total load of 2 ohms. this will maximize the output of the amp if it is stable at 2 ohms.

what if his amp puts out 600 watts at 2 ohms and his subs are 500 peak??

if u got 2 250watts rms subs.. and whats ur amp?? go with 4 ohms to be sure. 4ohms never hurt ur subs. i'd rather under power then over power subs unless ur at a competition.

but in ur case ur 300 watt amp is good enough. plus, at 2 ohms.. ur amp might be more distorted and sound like crap, because ur amp puts out crap instead of real power.

 

Well let's see.. I don't know much about speakers. But I do know that to reduce the resistance in a parallel circuit, you have to add loads. Or in your case, more speakers..
